1 - General Experimental

Solvents and reagents

All solvents were purchased from commercial sources and used without purification (HPLC or analytical grade). Anhydrous solvents were purchased from Acros Organics stored under a nitrogen atmosphere with activated molecular sieves. Standard vacuum line techniques were used and glassware was oven dried prior to use. Deionised water was sourced using an Elga DV 25 system. Organic sovents were dried during workup using anhydrous Na2SO4.

Purification and chromatography

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) was carried out using aluminium plates coated with 60 F254 silica gel. Plates were visualised using UV light (254 or 365 nm) or staining with Ninhydrin (1 M, EtOH) or 1% aq. KMnO4. Normal-phase silica gel chromatography was carried out using Biotage Isolera One flash column chromatography system (LPLC). Reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was performed using a Waters system equipped with a Waters 2545 Binary Gradient Module, a SecurityGuard™ ULTRA cartridges for EVO-C18 UHPLC HPLC, Kinetex 5 μM EVO C18 100 Å 100 x 3.0 mm column and a Waters SQ Detector 2 using the stated eluent system.

Characterisation

Infrared spectroscopy was carried out with a Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS5 FT-IR spectrometer fitted with an iD7-ATR accessory, selected absorption maxima (max) recorded in wavenumbers (cm-1 ). NMR spectra were recorded using a Bruker Avance 400 MHz spectrometer using the deuterated solvent stated. Chemical shifts (δ) quoted in parts per million (ppm) and referenced to the residual solvent peak. Multiplicities are denoted as s- singlet, d- doublet, t- triplet, q- quartet and quin- quintet and derivatives thereof (br denotes a broad resonance peak). Coupling constants recorded as Hz and round to the nearest 0.1 Hz. Low Resolution mass spectra were recorded on a Waters SQ Detector 2 (LC-MS). High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) was recorded using an Agilent 6530 QTOF. Compound names were generated using ChemBioDraw Ultra v14 systematic naming

2 - General Procedures

General procedure A – Synthesis of non-commercial oximes.

To a 22 mL vial equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar was added the correspoinding ketone, hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.5 equiv.), sodium acetate (2 equiv.) and a 4:1 mixture of water/ethanol (4 mL). The mixture was stirred at reflux for 2 hours before being cooled to room temperature where-upon the corresponding oxime precipitated and was filtered, washed with cold ethanol and dried under vacuum to afford the pure oxime, which was used without further purification.

General procedure B - Calcium catalysed Beckmann rearrangement

To a oven dried 4 mL vial is equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar added the corresponding oxime, 10 mol% Ca(NTf2)2, 10 mol% nBu4PF6 and 4:1 DCE:DME (approx. 2 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 80 oC until TLC or LCMS analysis indicated complete consumption of the starting material. Once complete, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue purified by flash column chromatography to afford the desired amide.

NB It was noted during the course of this study that the catalytic efficiency of the calcium salt slowly degrades over time. To ensure optimum activity, the commercial calcium salt should be thoroughly dried at 100oC under vacuum for 12 hours before use and stored under an inert atmosphere.

To erythromycin oxime23 (100 mg, 0.13 mmol) in a 4 mL vial was added Ca(NTf2)2 (8 mg, 0.013 mmol) and nBu4PF6 (5 mg, 0.013 mmol) in 4:1 DCE/DME and the mixture stirred at 80 oC for 5 hours. TLC/LCMS analysis indicated complete consumption of starting material. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added. The mixture was then acidified with 2 M HCl to pH 5 and the layers separated followed by further extraction of the aqueous layer with CH2Cl2. The extraction was repeated at pH 6 and 8 (achieved through addition of 1 M NaOH). The combined organic extracts obtained at pH8 were then dried (Na2CO3), filtered and concentrated to afford the trapped intermediate, which was used without further purification. The obtained intermediate was dissolved in MeOH (15 mL) and cooled to 0 oC, followed by the addition of NaBH4 over 1 hour (4 portions of 25 mg, 2.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 0 oC for 3 hours before warming to room
